　　Exciting screams of joy from two happy little girls rang across the beach. But I walked along, ignoring them. I’d come to this faraway beach on my sailboat, a place to escape. My marriage was in trouble. I worried about the harm to my two boys. But I didn’t know how to make things better.
　　“Help! Help!” The girls screamed. I saw one girl was at the edge of the surf, yelling. I charged into the waves, swam to her and seized her. “But where is the other girl?” I looked across the water and saw a small head after a big wave. I shifted the girl Td rescued to my back. She told me the other girl was her sister. For a moment I thought of my boys. How much they loved each other. How much I loved them.
　　I quickened my swimming and held the second little girl. We were at least 50 yards from land. I couldn’t swim that far with two girls hanging on to me. But there was no time to wait. I swam as hard as I could, but the weight of the girls grew heavier with every minute. My lungs burned. I opened my mouth to take a breath, but instead swallowed water. I couldn’t breathe. From behind me I felt an unbelievable force, lifting.
　　“Mommy!” The cry drew my attention. I loop. An elderly man was trying to drag me out of the water. Two women were swimming toward shore. “Than,” one of the woman cried. “You saved my daughters.” My efforts and my struggles had paid off. I thought of that big wave, lifting me and pushing me. When my body had failed me, and when all hope was disappearing, I was given the strength I needed.
